* These super filing pancakes are a great way to start the day with lots of protein. However they do contain 32g of fat per serving, more than the reccomended amount per meal. Try to make a meal or snack later in the day low in fat.
*Any leftover batter can be frozen and cooked for a quick breakfast!
